I really like both Tom Wilkinson and Emily Watson, and this movie gave me yet another reason to do so. They are such talented actors that any movie they star in deserves to be watched.In Separate Lies, they play husband and wife living in the London countryside. He is a respected lawyer who carries on with his everyday routine as if nothing were wrong with the world. She is a housewife who looks more bored or anxious than happy.
We find out why soon after a hit-and-run leaves behind the dead husband of their cleaning lady. Everyone seems to have something to hide, and many lies ensue, including from the anti-hero, played here in a laid-back fashion by the always attractive, albeit aged, Rupert Everett.
The action is slow and occasionally jerks off on a new tangent, but it's always very interesting, just as the unexpected decisions made by some of the characters.
Separate Lies is quite the thrilling drama.
Grade: 7.5
